Starting at 55:10 there is another interesting dialogue. I think it's the Harris County DA talking. His explanation of OC in a car by an LTC is that it must be in a belt or shoulder holster however, he says that holster can be "On or about" including in the seat beside you.

Sen. Birdwell tries to summarize to make it clear but I think he actually muddies it a bit more unintentionally. He says for an LTC, it must be "in a holster" and then point at his shoulder and belt he says on your shoulder or belt and then kind of pauses as he just points beside him like to the seat beside him and then starts talking about non LTC. So he didn't explicitly say the holster doesn't have to be on you but that is what the DA said and Birdwell confirmed when he said it that he thought he was spot on.

There was also discussion if this was just the Harris county interpretation or if he thought that was state wide and he said he thought it was pretty established law.

This was an interesting little dialogue.

Apparently there was some discussion/intention last session about using 30.06 to prevent BOTH CC and OC, but that intention didn't get written into the law. Buirdwell is discussing an intention to address that in 2017.

Summary: If passed in 2017, 30.06 would prohibit CC and OC. 30.06 would prohibit OC only.

I think you have a typo in there somewhere

This was an interesting little tidbit. Yes, there is a slight typo there, I think the intended summary would be:

Summary: If passed in 2017, 30.06 would prohibit CC and OC. 30.07 would prohibit OC only.

This does reduce the burden on property owners but it also does make it that much easier to just put up the one sign and ban all carry. It creates an incentive to ban all carry, the incentive being the use of less wall space.

Where did you hear this was going to be happening? I missed this was going on.
